As more and more details and pictures are emerging concerning the 2009 Ferrari California many of us are concerned on whether or not it will be a true Ferrari. Many fear that it is straying away from the design and quality that we come to expect in a Ferrari.

Despite our fears and concerns Ferrari is adamant in saying that the 2009 California will be one of the best and will be a true Ferrari. It will have the ability to shoot from – 60 mph in a little over 3 seconds. It will also be equipped with a manual gearbox as well as the HGTC pack – which might just be enough to appease some of us.

The HGTC pack comes with tightened suspension and carbon-ceramic brake discs. Underneath the hood lies a 4.3 liter V8 engine that is placed in the front of the car. Ferraris are known for mid-mounting their engines. We might oversee this fact due to the fact that the engine can push out 460 horsepower.

It might yet prove itself worthy to all of us Ferrari enthusiasts. However, it will be hard to determine this fully until it is launched and we truly get to see them in action.
